AN ATTACK MADE ON THE PRESIDENT TODAY BY SENATOR TILLMAN Read a Statement of Confer eiices With Roosevelt Through Chandler ACCUSES PRESIDENT OF CHANGING FRONT "Mr. Tillman Admitted Hp. Had Ilesi tat."d About. Entering I'pon Xcgo . tint Ion Willi the 'President Be cause of His Just Indignation for n Past Wrong, but He Had Con cluded (o Pocket His Pride Many Smiles mid Koine Laughter I'roin Senators. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, May 12 During the consideration of the railroad rate bill in the senate today Senator Tillman made an attack upon the president. He referred. to the Long amendment, say ing 'limit, lie diil so with the purpose of making an explanation. He said that senators probably would be surprised to know he had been in confer ence with the president. He then, con trary to his usual practice, read a state ment of his negotiations regarding the bill r.s follows: on Saturday, March 31. I was In formed by ex-Senator William K. Chandler that President Roosevelt had sent to him a note asking him to call at the white house that evening; that he bad obeyed the call and had been told by the president that lie desired through him to get, into communication with the senator in charge of the rail road rate bill, and with Senator Bailey representing the democrats of the sen ate, for the .'purpose of ascertaining whether there could be such united ac tion among the friends in the senate of the Hepburn bill as would make a sure majority in lis favor and against injur ious amendments. Mr. Chandler said the piesident named various republican 'senators - who he thought were true friends df the bill, but said that it might require all the democrats to de feat -obnoxious amendments. Mr. ( handler said the president had stated that be had come to a complete dis agreement with the senatorial lawyers wlio were trying to Injure or defeat the hill by ingenious constitutional amend ments, naming Senator Knox in addi tion to Senators Spooner and Foraker; that the president stated carefully and deliberately the basis upon which be thought there should be cooperation, viz, an amendment expressly granting a court review but limiting it to two points: () ..an inquiry whether the commission, had acted beyond Its au thority ultra vires, and (2), whether it had violated the constitutional rights of the. carrier, Mr. Chandler stated that the president stated that be bad reached a final decision that the right of review should be thus limited; that thus far he would go, no further; that bis decision would be unalterable." Proceeding, he said that Mr.. Chand ler bad said that the president had as sured him that he would be in favor of a restriction against , the issuance of ex-parte Injunctions to meet the wishes of Senators Tillman and Bailey. After informing Mr. Bailey of the purport of the Chandler interview Mr. Tillman said that on the next day lie had told Mr. Chandler that in bis and Mr. Bailey's opinion there would be no dilnculty in coming to an understand ing on the basis proposed by the pres ident. "On the evening of Monday Mr. Chandler told me he had so assured the president, and asked him not to be dis turbed by the newspaper items grow ing out of tho talk about Senator Icing's amendment published in the newspapers as one agived upon at the white house conference on Saturday." He then said that he and Mr. Chand ler had continued their conferences, and on April 5 the ex-Senator had gone to the white house to make a favorable re port to the president. On April 8 Mr. Chandler told him that he hftd con ferred with Senator Allison, asking him to intervene in the conferences then in progress, and that the Iowa senator had agreed to do so. -t . Later Mr. Allison had seen the pres ident. On April 13 Mr. Chandler had r.dvlsed thut he (Mr.. Tillman) ar.d Mr. Bailey see the attorney general. Con sequent they had left that official on the fifteenth, finding themselves in perfect accord wtth him except a small difference in the matter of In junction. , , , ' . "There was absolute accord from tho first on the proposition that the court review should be limited to the In quiry whether the commission had ex ceeded its authority or violated the carriers constitutional rights. Mr. (Continued on Second Page;) RATE BILL IN THE SENATE (I!y the Assoiiaid Press.) Washington, May 12. The senate again today took up tin- railroad rate hill and immediately entered upon the consideration of the remaining Allison amendments'-' relating to the Jurisdiction-of the federal court's over the or ders of the Interstate' commerce' com mission;. The first of these pertained to the venue, of courts and provided thai in cases-where two or more car riers were affected the venue should be in the-' district where either has its principal office. To tills Senator Ray ner offered as an amendment a pro vision in the language of the long amendment limiting injunction pro ceedings' to cases i,i which t lie carrier alleges a violation of the fifth amend ment to Hie constitution or sets up thai the com mission has exceeded' its jurisdiction. Senator Long said that tile amend ment offered by -Mr. ltayner was not his provision but even it were the whole subject would bo covered by the amendment relative to injunctions to be offered later by Mr. Allison. Mr. Carter defended the president against tile attacks on him, saying that "no one familiar with the president, would charge him with cowardice, for his record for courage js certainly unexe cuted." The democratic 'pr.rty, he said, was a party of negatism and nothing more. He declared that it was fright ened into a chill, over the prpspect of action, and he-charged Mr. Kayner and Mr. Bailey with having in all their congressional careers done nothing to secure railroad legislation. Replying, Senator Bailey dcchtrcil thi.t the Montana senator's "ebullition" had been due to -'the., fact .that he hud not been .mentioned by Mr. ltayner. as one of the-ambassadors from lb.' president to arrange the rate hill, lie culled, attention to the fact thai -during 'his ten yeats service in the house the democrats had. been In control only four years. He repeated his charges of inconsistency- on the part of tin president, charging thut he had failed to lake a position on the railroad question before the election; that, he had failed to revise the tariff and thai he hail receded from his decision to call an extra ' session of congress to take up the liillroad question. "I love a brave man and a fighter." he said, "and Hie president, is both on occasion," but he declined that he was .without, endurance-iind always al lowed the leaders of his party lo swerve him from .his purpose. "Let us have no more talk about the 'iron man.' lie Is only clay and very common clay at. that," lie added, and said that If the president had been the heroic figure that he is represented to be lie would have called the repub lican senators and members together and told them that If the right kind of bill was not passed it would be vetoed. "May Clod save .the country from such iv bill as we are getting," he said. In reply to Senator Aldrich he expressed the opinion that the bill as It stands in the senate Is a better measure than the hill that passed the house. .-The Rnyner amendment to the Alli son amendment was then voted down, and the controversy proceeded on .an other amendment suggested by Mr. Bacon, making the proposed court re view apply only to "orders and re quirements not involving the exercise of discretion by the commission." I'lie debate was legal and technical, and was participated in !; Senators Bacon, Long, Bailey, Foraker and others. The Bacon amendment was voted down 22 to 46.
